OPPO Super VOOC technology. Unveiled back in 2016, Super VOOC promised to top up your phone’s battery life in record time so that you never have to worry about plugging your device for prolonged periods. Let us talk more in detail about what OPPO brings to the table and how it could benefit future devices.

Super VOOC Relies on Higher Current to Top-up the Smartphone Battery Very Quickly

A power brick or wireless charging pad is used to charge the smartphone. As the majority of you aware, power is measured in watts and the more wattage being supplied to a smartphone, the faster it will charge. Lots of the smartphone chargers operate at 5V and supply a current of 2A, so multiple 5V x 2A and you get 10 watts of power. Super VOOC takes a different approach when it comes to fast-charging but if you read right at the bottom, the company approach has changed if you fast forward to 2018.
Using the same 5V voltage rating, the charger supplies current at 4A or 4 amperes, resulting in a total of 20 watts. This will certainly allow the smartphone’s battery to charge faster than before. also managed to point out that smartphone manufacturers often talk about a device’s capability of being able to take its battery from 0 to 80 percent or 0 to 75 percent in the shortest time possible.
Now, why is it that these manufacturers do not provide the total time it takes for a smartphone’s battery to reach from 0 to 100 percent? Well, that will result in a terrible marketing strategy and that is because a battery charging takes place in two stages; reach to a 100 percent takes a significantly longer, which is manufacturers do not want to point out this information
Stage one is where the battery charges rapidly from 0 to 80 percent, and what is happening here is that the charger is supplying a lot of watts to the phone, which would explain why these days, your device is able to come up to 80 percent of its total battery capacity in just 30-35 minutes. The drawback here is that the remaining 20 percent takes the most amount of time, and those details are purposely left out by manufacturers for the aforementioned reason.
Phones normally take much longer for their batteries to reach 100 percent, which is quite normal. However, there are certain properties of Super VOOC that are also beneficial for fast-charging smartphones.

Super VOOC Also Charges Smartphones Rapidly When You Are Watching Videos or Gaming

Though various fast-charging technologies have improved considerably, certain contingencies are present in devices in order to prevent them from overheating. For example, the processor running in the chipset clocks down (also known as thermal throttling) when the device’s temperature is reaching unacceptable levels. Similarly, if you are watching a video or playing an intensive 3D application on your smartphone or tablet after you plug in your smartphone, here is what you will notice.
When you are charging your handset, it will overheat and when you are attempting to charge your smartphone and play a video at the same time, heat is going to be generated from two different sources. At this point, the fast-charging feature of the smartphone shuts off and starts to charge normally in order to reduce those temperatures.

Fortunately, Super VOOC does the opposite and is able to retain lower temperatures while charging the battery rapidly at the same time. OPPO’s proprietary fast-charging technology charges at the same rate irrespective of the user playing an intensive 3D application or engaged in media consumption.

Super VOOC Technology Was Able to Charge OPPO’s Find X Smartphone in Just 35 Minutes

Wanna know a fun fact here? The OPPO Find X Lamborghini Limited Edition also utilizes Super VOOC technology and guess how long it took for the device’s 3,400mAh battery to get charged to 100 percent? Only 35 minutes. However, the company was able to achieve this by slightly altering its fast-charging technology. Instead of using 5V to charge the smartphone, OPPO achieved this through a voltage rating of 10V, which actually contradicts the original technology that was showcased back in 2016.
OPPO also stated during that time that 5V was actually beneficial for the phone because lower voltage not only offers lower temperature but it is also safe to use your phone while charging. It is possible that the company incorporated several protections to prevent irreparable damage from being inflicted on the ultra-expensive flagship, but it looks like we’ll be finding this out in the future.
According to the comparison seen in the image, it will take 220 minutes to charge on a standard 5V 1A brick to completely charge the OPPO Find X Lamborghini Limited Edition, while a common 5V 2A charger takes 135 minutes. With the current VOOC Flash charge, it takes just 90 minutes to charge from 0-100 percent but the new and improved Super VOOC is able to fully charge the device.

They weigh surprisingly little, yet they back a greater energy wallop than any other batteries of similar size. They are based on ions, charged atomic particles. In the manner of nitro glycerin, although not nearly as explosive, they are sensitive to jarring movement. But they have come, in the past two decades, a long way from the days when their lack of stability meant that they could not be trusted outside of a laboratory. Lithium ion batteries have entered the main stream, and when treated with caution, do things that no other rechargeable battery can do.

Lightweight lithium metal-based batteries have been the object of research since 1912, but did not achieve commercial status until the 1970s, and like all batteries of that era, were not rechargeable. Because lithium metal is extremely volatile, the lithium metal based batteries had to be abandoned and replaced with lithium ion based batteries before recharging was an option. Sony Corporation int5duced the first rechargeable lithium ion batteries in the 1991, and they have now become the rechargeable batteries of choice.

The competition, nickel cadmium batteries, has only half the energy density of lithium ion batteries. Nickel batteries are also much more high maintenance than lithium ion batteries, which do not require a full discharge before recharging. And lithium ion batteries, when disposed of, are far less enabling to the environment than nickel ones.

Lithium ion batteries, however, are not without their drawbacks. They should be kept at temperatures below 77 degrees Fahrenheit; for every year in which they are stored at higher temperatures they will lose 20% of their capacity. Even when stored at lower temperatures, they will lose about 5%, but that is much less than other batteries. If they get excessively hot, they will be ruined. Manufacturers recommend 59 degrees Fahrenheit as the ideal storage temperature, but you can safely store lithium ion batteries in the refrigerator and allow them to warm before using them.

Another weakness of lithium ion batteries is that they are beginning to deteriorate as soon as they leave the factory, even when they are in storage. They will last longer if they are used, and should not be stored at more than a 40% charge. Storing them with too low of a charge, however, will either cause them to die or make them very hazardous when they are being recharged. The best way to handle your lithium ion batteries is to use them.

Lithium ion batteries, evening the best of circumstances, have a normal life span of between two and three years. They are, however, a work in progress, and lithium ion battery makers are continuously researching improvements to the technology. A new generation of lithium batteries appears at approximately six month intervals, and as time goes on, their life span may very well be considered extended.

If you're thinking about picking up a Roomba iRobot vacuum cleaner then you need to read this article. We're going to look at whether or not it will do as good a job as a standard vacuum would.

The Roomba iRobot is a "robotic" vacuum cleaner that does not require you to do the actual work. It has an infrared sensor that will sense when it is about to run into something, like a wall or furniture, and it will change course automatically.

The idea behind these vacuums is that you can set them free in a room and they will gradually work their way around the entire space without you having to do anything.

So the question is, do they really work?

The answer is not quite so simple, unfortunately. They do work as advertised – they will sense walls and furniture, adjusting course as they go to avoid hitting them. The way they are designed to adjust course will gradually cover the entire floor of a room.

There are a couple of drawbacks to them however. First, the infrared sensor works well for the most part, but on occasion they will miss something and get stuck, requiring you to reset them to get them moving again. This kind of defeats the purpose of a robotic vacuum.

The other, and probably more significant drawback is that the Roomba iRobot is not the most powerful vacuum. Because they are designed to be small and unobtrusive, they do not have a particularly powerful vacuum motor. They will do fine at picking up dust and small items, but large spills are beyond their abilities for the most part.

Plus, because they are quite small compared to most vacuums, you'll find that you need to empty the disposal compartment more often.

The other potential drawback to the iRobot is that they run on batteries. They have rechargeable batteries built in, so you are not going to have to buy new ones all the time, but if you forget to plug it in to charge overnight you might find your vacuum out of commission for a few hours while it charges.
